My-Oh-My!

Week 9 where did you go? I can't believe Next week is Dead week.. Am I prepared? Ha, no! As an art major all of my final portfolios and critiques happen a week early. That means dead week is really my finals week! I wish I had the extra week that everyone else has to study and take care of their grades. It's funny I'm wishing for extensions, while all I hear from fellow students is how lucky I am. Maybe it's one of those grass is greener scenarios.... All I know is that the term feels like it is fast approaching its end and it's both too soon and not soon enough. I feel like I am ready for this break, but I also am interested in my classes and just want more time to delve deeper! I suppose I could on my own time... (wait, what time?)

Ugh, today was really one hell of a day. There was nothing that was exceptionally awful, just one of those days where my mind was just going a million miles over everything and then it was being pulled in different directions thinking about environmental issues, protest, peaceful vs violent, our rights, state rights, ethics, and the whole shebang! It was sort of a disconcerting in class discussion. Add together that discussion, an internal debate about what it means to be an artist and if that's what I really want, a hard day at work, and thinking about Clark's military switch-a-roo and it gives you a pretty heavy mind which makes for a long and tiresome day.

However, there were good parts as well! I got to clean my room and Olive is being the sweetest cat right now. It amazes me how intuitive pets are to what you need from them. Right now, she is purring in bed next to me with her little head on my leg. Thank you my little fluff ball for looking so cute and being my cuddle buddy on these lonesome week nights.
